I love this game so much! The overall design of it is really cool and unique!!! I love the love interests too, they are both very charming in their own ways. It left me blushing and kicking my feet and pacing around >///< They both captured my heart. Both of their stories are very interesting and learning about them both was lots of fun!
In the bad endings I felt so bad for them T_T. It was scary getting ending #6 my first playthrough and I think the horror elements were done well.
the art style is actually so adorablee brah!!!!! i only got the endings where i ended up going out with them and getting rejected.. ima probably play again later to get the other endings but like i really like thisssdjhs i actually love the art style so muych it isnt even funyn 💔 anywyas ily for making this
this game was so good!!!!! i love the subtly spooky vibes all throughout the work. both kaito and jun are precious, although I definitely have a soft spot for jun.
the cohesive aesthetic throughout the whole work is really inspiring! from the backgrounds to the sprites to the UI, even the screen resolution. and i love the way you used ren'py to its fullest potential with the minigame and the choice screen towards some of the endings.
i'll be keeping an eye out for your future stuff!
This game is really GREAT!! From the beginning of browsing the details, I was attracted by the design of the webpage, and the art style within the game is indeed eye-catching as well. As a gamer who enjoys mild horror and fishing (and to be honest I can't help but wan to try any game that contains fishing), I couldn't wait to download the game. The flow of the game isn't very long, but both boys are really exceptionally cute, especially Jun. I admit that I tend to judge him based on his appearance, but I really didn't expect Jun to actually have such a somewhat tsundere personality, which I found very lovable🥰
(SPOILER)
There was something about the fishing mini-game where I sensed something strange about those slimy things, but I didn't take it to heart and things turned out to beslimy too. The jumpscare part had some groundwork, but I have to admit that I was creeped out (not in a bad way). And that creepy vibe carried over into later playthroughs, even in the good endings. It makes me wonder that both boys touched the player's glove at the end, does it mean...?(ŐдŐ)
All in all it was a really enjoyable experience, and I felt the care and effort put into this work which I was also very impressed. I'm looking forward to more of your new works in the future!
p.s. May I ask if you have any intention of adding other languages into this work? I'd be happy to help with Chinese localization if you'd like! If not, may I have your permission to translate this work into Chinese? I promise I'll credit you and put a link back to your site. I'm really, really sorry if I have offended you.

One second I was immersed in a romantic atmosphere, the next second it almost scared me to death ... but I still freaking like this game! Stunning art style, interesting interaction and the gradual display of characters' personalities and stuff. But in the end, even in happy endings, Fukuoka's fate is inevitable.This makes me a little sad...
Hey, just a quick bug report: it seems like if you give a gift that Jun really likes and you linger on the screen, then you get this error:
Snooping around in the game files (sorry, I was curious!), I confirmed that it's because the variant sprite for junblushopenblink.png is missing or otherwise mislabeled.
I hope it helps!
I really like this game and how unique it is. I didn't expect it to take such a turn towards the end. I especially like both Kaito and Yun's personalities and how they're both likable in their own way. This seems to be your first game and I think you did super well. I hope that you make more games in the future.
I found this game by chance and I LOVED every second of it! First up, the graphics and the UI??? Hello??? They are literally so good and so unique! The moving background and the sprites really made the game feel more alive! I also find the interactions between the players, Kaito, and Jun really fun. Each characters are so likable in their own way, but I have to say, I fell for Kaito hook, line, and sinker (haha get it? get i--)! He's just so lovable. The RNG seemed to realize this and it kept giving me fishes that Kaito would like LMAO
Before I get into spoiler talk below, I want to say that I did a quick doodle of the boys. It's a bit scuffed, but I really hope I did them justice 😭
(Spoilers below)
Somehow, I didn't expect the slimy endings. I did play this at 2 AM, so my brain wasn't working as effectively, but this made the reveal so much more shocking. I went for Kaito first and the shot of the black parasite/goo overtaking him jumpscared me so hard, but I loved it! The shot was so unsettling and creepy in a good way! The fact that Fukuoka seems to be doomed even in the good endings made me feel so bad for the boys. Well, at least they seem happy to be dating the player before shit hits the fan...
Edit: If there's one criticism that I can give, it's the fact that there's no log. I sometimes accidentally clicked twice and completely missed a dialogue, so a log to show previous dialogues would be nice (Unless there is one and I completely missed it... in that case, I'm sorry and ignore this part ;;)
All in all, I just really love this game! There's a lot of love and care poured into it and it definitely shows! I've also read your postmortem devlog and found your story to be both relatable and really inspiring! I'm glad that you found joy in creating things and I certainly hope to see more from you in the future. I'll be wishing the best of luck with your upcoming project! Thank you for creating this fun little gem and sharing it with us!! :D
Oh man, this comment genuinely made me tear up. I cannot describe how much your insanely kind words mean to me, especially coming from someone asincredibly talented as yourself!! While I can’t help but feel undeserving of such praise, I am so, SO happy you enjoyed it!!
I have been staring at your drawings non-stop and I’ve made both of them my lock/home screen on my phone ♡╥﹏╥♡ You are so talented and captured them perfectly, I never imagined someone would enjoy the boys enough to draw art of them, thank you SO much holy shit!!!
(Spoilers)
I was so nervous putting this out that the horror wouldn’t actually scare anyone, so to hear you were jumpscared (as strange as it sounds) fills me with such relief lol!! Also, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on the fact that the “good” endings aren’t all that good in the end, so once again I am so happy that came through! I 10000% agree with you on the log, unfortunately the implementation of the fishing game completely broke the log/rollback so I regrettably had to omit it, but I am for sure including one in every project after this; I really apologize to you and everyone else as I know how annoying that is!!
Once again I seriously cannot thank you enough, this just made me so overjoyed. I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day/night!!! ♡♡♡♡♡
OOH! I am honored to have my art be used as your lock/home screen!! Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that nailed the drawings! I also want to let you know that you are also VERY talented and that you're underselling yourself, and this game is proof of that! (It's sometimes easy to forget that though, so I hope whenever you look back to my art or other people's comments, you'll be reminded of that :D)
(spoilers below)
Don't worry about the horror, it really felt creepy to me and the unease during the good endings is so good! (I'm literally repeating myself sorry LMAO)
I had an inkling that you had to omit the log for a good reason, but still thank you for taking my comment about the log into consideration!
Lastly, you're welcome and take care! Best of luck with your endeavors!! :DD
I love this game so much. The aesthetics of this are just so good!! The music also made the experience very enjoyable for me. The boys are also so easy to love!! Though I have to admit that I like Jun a tiny bit more ;p Took the time to get all the endings and I definitely enjoyed each one. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful game!!! Definitely looking forward to future works from you ^^
Created an account just to comment!! This game was sooo cute and I fell for Kaito!! He's super sweet and silly and I adored him sm more than I expected ><!! I really love the pixel art and!! I love the fishes!! As someone who likes pixel art, fishes, and slight horror, this game was so fun for me! I enjoyed all of the routes and endings! I also liked the game pacing and the game mechanics, I started fishing just for fun lol! Thank you so much for creating such an amazing game!!
Also!! Am I by chance allowed to make fanart of them?
Wow, thank you SO much for checking out my little game and your kind words in your review! ♡♡ I'm so sorry you struggled figuring out the mini-game at first, you do get a little tutorial if you tell Kaito "no" when he asks if you know how to fish, but I probably should have made that more clear haha! Oops!
